New Construction and Developments

Unless you've been inside for all of the last 6-12 months and don't read any local blogs or newspapers, you must have noticed at least some of the many new residential construction projects dotting our 7x7 city.  It's hard to keep up with them.

To help our clients, we've put together a map showing some (not all) of these projects. There are several sources for the information on the map.

• The city's list of construction permits.  We have included those that surround our office on Nob Hill at 1715 Polk St.  (If you're interested in other neighborhoods, let me know and I'll point you in the right direction).
• Projects mentioned in publications such as the Chronicle, San Francisco Business Times, and BAR.
• Projects mentioned in popular local real estate blogs such as Socketsite and Curbed SF.
• The San Francisco Planning Department and Planning Commission.

This is a 1.0 effort and, as such, will go through some teething pains.  (Actually, we users will feel the teething pains -- the database and map will just be the source!)

The red dots on the map represent the approximate street address of the project.  Click on a dot and there is additional information including an image/rendering of the project (if available) along with the street address and a brief description taken from either Planning Department documents, press write-ups or the developers website.

In most cases there will be a link to the project's web site and an additional web site that has useful information about the project.  In some cases, the project's web site may just be a reference to the Planning Department document (PDF file) or the developer's web site.  Most sites that will be selling or renting units will eventually have a live web site but that comes relatively late in the development process.
